​​​​​Join Us! Break the Stigma: 

At Baltimore Goes Purple Together, we are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding prevention, substance, mental, behavioral health, and recovery.

 

Addiction is not a moral failing—it is a public health issue that affects individuals, families, organizations, and communities.

​

Words Matter-Change the Script

Use person-centered language to reduce stigma with substance use disorders. 

​

​​We support prevention, treatment, and long-term recovery by fostering awareness, education, and compassion.

 

At BGPT, we believe that everyone deserves a chance to heal. Through open conversations, community collaboration, and access to resources, we empower individuals to become knowledgeable and seek support without fear of judgment.

 

Together, we can change the narrative that replaces stigma with understanding. 

​

Join us as we unite for a healthier, stronger Baltimore—because recovery is possible, and every voice matters.
